Journaling:
Hotel Colorado was one of the very first hotels in the world to have electric lights throughout. In the courtyard there were 2,000 rose bushes and a fountain that shot water 185 feet in the air. While rooms at other hotels in town went for fifty cents a night, it was three dollars a night on the first two floors. Higher floors were hotter, so slightly less expensive, but still out of reach for all but the wealthy. Guests made the trip to the resort over Independence Pass in the warm months.
